1842 French parody with animal societies

Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux (1842) was an illustrated work of French parody published in the aftermath of the French Revolution. First published completely in 1842, with some parts coming as early as November 20, 1840, it was produced by "P. J. Stahl" in collaboration with Honore de Balzac, Antoine Gustave Droz, Émile Lemoine, Jules Janin, Georges Sand, Charles Nodier, Marie Mennessier-Nodier, and Alfred de Musset; and illustrated by J. J. Grandville, it proved to be best-seller, selling 25,000 copies. Several editions were later published with the title altered as La Vie Privée Et Publique Des Animaux (1867) and Les Animaux peints par eux-mêmes et dessinés par un autre. An English translation Public and Private Lives of Animals (1876) was produced by J. Thompson.
